Been scrapping copper since at least 1977.I,ve got several hundred pounds in various stages of prep for sale so I,d really like to see it go up.The biggest problem I see is that unlike scrap dealers in earlier days,todays dealers are mostly interested in how lowball they can get your stuff for by finding some minor problem in a batch and then try to apply that to your whole load.I understand that there,s a lot of cheating with sellers in this field and the dealer has to make money too but I always sort my stuff by type and grade and go to great lengths to insure that what I have is the real deal. and no hidden weight boosters.if I feel like I,m being done unfairly I just refuse to sell.Not busting out all dealers,but the good ones are getting harder to find.
